A CLASSIC MASTERPIECE DESERVING OF RESTORATION!
Carl Dreyer's 1932 "Vampire" is considered to be the greatest vampire movie ever filmed, even by today's standards.
This masterpiece of horror so deserves a complete restoration of both video & audio of the original language. But, there should also be an English dubbed version as well.
Also, this movie should have a place of honor in every horror fans collection.
"Vampyr" cries out to be watched by everyone. Though some critics have criticized "Vampyr" for being slow & drawn out. But, there was always a method to Dreyer's madness. And, the wait was always worth it. The storyline is solid, along with being both beautifully filmed and scored by the master Wolfgang Zeller.
It wasn't a common practice in 1932 for a recorded soundtrack to be made available for public purchase. And, Zeller's "Vampyr" score was among the first 2 or 3 other soundtracks of the era.
So, I repeat, "RESTORE"!
